FOR TUB SUN. MR. EDITOR, - - As the Oratorical Banker perse. veres in (pitting his desk for the Hustings, and obt!rdinz himself upon public notice, notw,ith stauding the eloquent reprehension in the letter of your admirable Correspondent FALKLAND, which appeared in Tnt SUN of Monday, it is evident that he and Gaol JoNes have formed a coalition in favour.of Sir 1 41 RANCIS ETT and fIUNT, however they may affect to despise the latter, for be at least serves the purpose of col lecting a Banditti every day, and they can always be ready-to assist the Burdettiles in their desien3 of outrage and murder. You have justly con demned the Banker for cotnplaining of the intro duction of the Military to suppress the riotous proceedings on Monday, when the Civil Power was in danger of being wholly Subdued, and when the consequences might have been murder . •by wholesale. But „you have suffered what the Banker said to provoke tTie - liish7to wreak their vengeance on Lord cASTLAREAGI4, to 'pass over without tbitt animadversion and censure w ‘ hich it nuthifestly deserves.. Mr.Klt4N . ,6nti has attempted to justify himself in the following letter, which 1 beg you will reprint, that your Paper may render it as well known throughout the United Kindom as- it is in the Metropolis, since it appeared in the respectable Morning Paper from which it is taken, and that the People in general may compare big lexolanation wit t. the words which he attered,ac cording to the reports in other Public Prints, which T subj.in TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW TIMES. Ilartes-street. Friday Evening. SIR,—My attention has just been pointed to the leading reticle in your Paper of this day. I hasten to deny the in terpretation given to an expression which you state another Journal to have attributed to me. Ido not believe myself to have used precisely the words cited But the distinct mean ing which the wor ds I used bore. and which, from the con text, could not hare been misunderstood, was, that " lord woutil fail in the object of .his journey to Ire land, oaturly, his return to Parliament, if the expression of public opiniuo had its due weight there." I am, Sir, your obedient St IA ant, POUtiLAS KINNAIRD. Now, Sir, it is proper to cite the several re ports of his words in the public prints.—The New- Times ot, the 25th ult, declares, that_ Mr. Kw- NAIRD, having mentioned I4,rd CASItERRAGH by name, uttered the following words,•"if many of his (Lord C.'s) conntrynien had their wish, he believed the Noble Lord would ne)er te!nrt)." This is a pretty good hint for the Irish Jacobins to make short work with his Lordship.— The Morn ing Post of the saute date states that Mr. KIN NAIRb, after affecting to lament the injury which Captain Max w ELL had itiffered, that'' they ' (the mot)) ought .to carry their indignation to the doors of the treasury, and not•to the private dwel ling of Sir Munftny MAXWELL. He described the conduct of Lord CASTLEREAGH in .cowing there to vote for Sir M. MAXWELL; just before he left town for Ireland, to be insulting to the Electors of ‘Vestinioster, and he hoped they would never forget it."— The British Press of thesarne day re ports the passage ill question oflllr. ICINNAIRD's speech in the loll Owing manner:--" He (Sir MuattAv NIAXWELL) was pedlar); made the tool of the Treasury. To that door they (the mob) should direct their indignation. They shoold direct their indignation against the Secretory of State, who, before going to Ireland, had devoted the last mo ments he ha d r' to spare to the insulting office of disgusting the people of England, by giving this Candidate a plumper, and displaying his fixcrl and inveterate det crud nattou i to uphold that sys tem of arbitrary measures in this country whict, lad rendered him execrated in his own."—The Times of the same day gives the passage alluded to in the following manner :—" To Ireland he (LordCASTLEREAGH) was now gone, and if public opinion and public feeling bad free expression there, he would not soon return hither."—Now, tray we not ask why Lord CAsTLEREAGH had not as much right to give his vote to Sir MDR- L ot MAXWELL as Mr. KINNAIRD had to give his to the rabble's Candidate, Sir FRANCIS The cha racter of the gallant officer, professional and pri vate, is held in the highest estimation ; and he is, as ready to support the Constitution, as his rival is to reform, it by Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments, that is, by a French Revolution ? But as to Abe attenipt of Mr. KINNAIRD to excite Irish vengeance against Lord CASTLEREAGH—is it at all probable that the public will be satisfied with his own explanation of the words imputed to him ? Take them, notwithstanding all the _filtering which they have gone through, in his printed let ter, the meaning is still the same, and it seems to devote Lord CASTLEREAGH to destruction. The Morning Papers employ practised Reporters, who generally take notes in 'short-hand, and they agree so much in their accounts of what Mr. KINNAIRD said, that the public cannot hesitate to prefer those accounts to his Lordship's expla nation, which, after all, hears the same import. If, therefore, any such event as the words appear likely to incite 'should befal his Lordship, may not Mr. KINNAIRD be treated as an accessary be fore the fact ) But, however we might lament the sacrifice of an individual, particularly of such high talents and meritorious services as his Lordship, what shall be said of Mr. KINNAIRD for instigating the mob to carry their indignation to the doors of the Treasury 9 This may be considered as an in citement to plunder and rebellion ; for it the mob could succeed in such an attempt, there would soon be an end of all regular Government. For Inv part, I think the Attorney• General ought to make due enquiry, in order to ascertain, by cre dible witnesses, what Mr. KINNAIRD really said on the occasion ; and if it appears that his words . were calculated to excite the mob to attack, and consequently to plunder the Treasury, his speech one.lit to undergo the severe critici s m o f the L a w, rather than Newspaper censure or public abhor rence. A FRIEND TO HIS KING AND COUNTRY. SIR I`,'ILLIAIII CURTIS. Ye=terday a very numerous said most respect able Meeti»g of the Merchants, Bankers, Ship Owners, &c. of the City of London, was held at the Tavel n of that name, to consider on the pro priety of offering a public testimony of their re spect, to Sir WILLIAM Cu ens, for his eminent services and independent devotion to their inte rests, as a Mere-ber of Parliament, for the long period of twenty-eight years. At too . o'elorlt, Mr. MANNING, having been prevailed on' to, take the Chair, addressed the company in .a brief hut pertinent speech, in which he stated that the requisition for calling the meet ing had fully explained its object, and those who had drawn it up had abstained from introducing any a n that might create a difference of opi nion. NO Man could doubt that some particular mark of their esteem should be given to Sir It'll liam Curtis by the Citizens of London, for his services in their behalf during the 28 years that he had been their worthy Representative ; and this being the purpose for which the meeting had been called, he had only the duty to perform of reading d a te Resolutions which had been prepared for their adoption. Mi.. WHITMORE apologized for not being in the haVit of -public speaking ; but he could not refrain frcitu.saying that be had had the advantage of knowing the Lion. Baronet for a great number of years; and had experienced from- him such ex treme. eirilit y and attention to every thing that regarded the public interests of the body to which he belonged, that, as an individual, he felt the deepest regret at his not havin g ; been again re turned to Parliament. lie would most cautiously abstain from any observations which might be deemed of a political nature, but he could not refrain from saying, that the whole conduct of the Hon. Baronet deserved the warmest thanks of the company., It was therefore about to be proposed, that the Meeting should, in the form of Resolutions, express their deep regret that the worthy Baronet had not been again returned to Parliament, and that an appropriate address of thanks be presented to bin, for his conduct throughout the whole period that he had dis charged the important duties of a representative of the City of London. 'I he Address and the Resolutions, (for which see the Advertisement,) having been read, Mr. U. Hatester rose to second thetn.—He thought the company must all be of opinion, that it was impossible for arty Gentleman to have re presented them for twenty c eight years without deserving, when he had separated from them, a decisive tribute of their approliation. if it were only from Sir William Curtis having been five times elected, he must merit sonic tribute of re gard from those be had so long represented ; and it had appeared to those who- 4 had called the Meriing, itiat the fairest and most appropriate tribute would be that which should confine itself to the services . he lead rendered tor the commercial interests of London. If foreigners : were asked ''What had enabled us to carry on a tremendous tautest for . 20 years, to restore. the liberties of Europe, .and. to come out of it with honour and glory, - they would say, although they.had called us a nation of shopkeepers, that it was the uni versal power of British Commerce ; for we had not only f.! Ships, Colonies, and Commerce," but 'we had ,brave and valuable seamen and soldiers to defend- and protect them. To the interests of our `Commerce the Honourable Baronet had always been most earnestly devoted. Was there any man who could say he had not ever found him easy of access, and prompt in exertion ?—Could they find any one of his actions that could be called unfaithful, negligent, or ineffectual ?—On the remarkable question of the Property Tax, the Merchants and Bankers thinking it proper to sap ' port the Funded Interest, had met in the Mansion House, and professed their readiness to submit to it, in order to enable Mihisters to raise the Sup plies as far as possible within the year. In the same place they met when the war was over, and agreed that it ought to cease. He saw the Hon. Baronet in the House of Commons unfold their ponderous and momentous Petition, which might be considered as the principal means that caused the abolition of the Tax ; and lie also spoke against it, though it was tolerably well known that his sentiments were very tar from agreeable to men in power. A debt of gratitude was there fore due from the Citizens of London to the Hon. Baronet, which he was.sure would be unanimously accorded, as Englishmen were not more prompt to shtsw their resentment at an unprovoked injury, than to express their gratitude for favours con ferred. He should therefore second the motion for carrying the Address and Res ns. Mr•ANTHONY BROWNE said, h as sure there could be but one feeling amongst t•• Company— that of gratitude to the Hon. Bar. for his long and unweeried attention to theists. But there might be slime difference Or Ilion as to how those sentiments might bi.lieSCCOuveyed, so as to do credit to those who offered them. He thought sonic substantial mark of their respect should he offered to the Honourable Baronet, which might be handed down to his posterity. It was not his wish to disturb the unanimity of the Meeting by any irrelevant observations, but he thought a Resolution might be voted for offering him a piece of plate as a testimony of the sense of the Meeting respecting his eminent services. He was proceeding to make some observations on the satisfaction of the Citizens of London with the Gentlemen who had just been returned, when Mr. Dlxot4 spoke to order, and pointed out the necessity of first carrying the proposed Resolu tions, to prevent disorder, after which any thing that the worthy Gentleman chose to submit as an additional Resolution might be considered. After a brief conversation, the Address and Re solutions were unanimously agreed to. A consultation then took place for a few mi nutes, and the Chairman stated that it was the opinion of the Gentlemen who had called the Meeting, that as their object bad been obtained, it would be better not to proceed any farther. Mr. Beowse consequently acquiesced, and withdrew a Resolution which he was about to offer. The thanks of the meeting were atianimously voted to the . Chairman, for his able and impartial conduct, and the meeting broke up. THEATRICAL REGISTER. Perlin•med Last Night.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Sun- , day last, and this morning those of Monday. The only article worthy of any notice in the former is the announcement of the arrival at Frankfort, on the 2lst ult., of the Duchess of SAxa MEINUN GEN, with the Princess AMELIA, her daughter, (the intended consort of the Duke of CLARISNCE,) on their way to England.—The following are Extracts from the Monday's Journals : PARIS, JUNE 29.—The Countess of Gothland (Q;teen of Sweden) is expected this day at Au teuil, where she intends to reside at the chateau of the Duke de Primlin. " We leaiu from Tonlouse, that an attempt bail been made, but which failed, to carry off the bodies of Bastide,. Jausion, and Cobol]. " A letter from Rennes states, that M. Du noyer has been set at liberty upon , bail. FIVE PER CENTS. Saturday 741.10c. Luau Certificates l2i DEFERRED . STOCK of the ,24t Maroh, 1817....85f. 4oc.. 22d Sfipt. 1817 . 88f. 40 c.

The progress of the Poll yesterday in favour of:. , Sir Muansv MAXWELL, we trust, may be Con sidered as a . proof that the real independent Electors of Westminsteare now corning fOrward; since they are secure from all danger by the arrangements which have been made for their protection in tendering•their votes at the Hust ings. Another reason why the riotous spirit before the Hustings, if not wholly subdued, has at least, abated, may arise from the arrest of some of the most mischievous of the'Rioters, and, considering the dreadful attempts that were made by the Burdettites-to destroy. Sir MURRAY MAXWELL; if the Ruffians Who are in custody should be ad mitted to bail, and any body can be found so shameless as to become their sureties, we trust that the law will, notwithstanding, be carried into vigorous operation ; for the peace of the Metro polis, and.perhaps of the whole, Country, may be disturbed, 'if such miscreants should wholly escape punishment. It has been asked in what the principles of HUNT differ from those—uf Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and no man is so subtle in sophistry as to be able to make any distinctioo between them. They are both the ayowerlslistn- - pions of Universal Suffrage and :Animal. ments, and ; consequently, the advocares„for tnea sures that would assuredly lead :to the total over throw of the- British Constitution. The only difference between these worthless Detnagogites is i their situation. ilytlT is a poor Devil, and down in the mud, tU use the language of his follorliers, and Sir. Faaticrs is, ar low in OA estimstion: of all "Wise and botlest men, ,'hat glen he has the Means of 'Corruption in his power, if he is now as much disposed to resort to them as he was, when, according to the acknowledgement of his friends, he expended ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND. POUNDS to support the Purity of Elf.C. - lion, in obtaining his seat- for Middlesex. We .know that the Knight was at first very low on the Poll, and so he was likely to continue, but at length houses wercopened in his favour, liquors .were abundantly supplied, plenteous dinners were given, his rilo6ons were sported in all directions, and then . a host of incorruptible Electors soon rushed forward, and he suddenly arose on the list. This temporary success must have cost something, and it is not to be doubted that his supporters touched handsomely besides in secret, and all to support the Purity of Election I! Another cause that contributed to his success was the base apos lacy of those who support Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, styling themselves Whigs, and who, atter being reviled by the Burdettites in the grossest terms, yet formed a coalition with them in order to bring in the Knight and the Bpronet t °. };ether. We lament the necessity of me nti°ll ; ing in the reports of the proceedings sorb roe, as Gaol JONES, CLEARY, STURM!, W ALICII ; and other worthies of the same class, iv" riei s " could be known but in times of feern eflati when the icum rises to the top ; but public W l % shy must be gratified, and we must submit. iito, an old saying, that , t when rogues fall oat. 136, nest men come at the trtith,"—and some l ie . tage has been derived from, the con toor squabbles of Horry and his former frieno n n t it for Hustings, and the exp o sure of letters/ &c. teat appears plainly th a t t r eas o n w a s ripening, d matters were actually preparing for rebellion.4.o What then must be thought of a Candidate Iv bte is supported by wretches like these ?
